Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10K Digital Camera

While it trailed the other advanced compact cameras we tested, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10K is still plenty powerful. It offers an expansive touch screen, fast refocusing, and excellent photo quality and image stabilization for clearer photos even in tricky situations. Its video recordings weren't quite as good as comparable models, though. The touch screen missed some of our taps, too. The audible zoom in videos and overall heavy design were other minuses. Still this camera offers plenty of great extras like GPS tagging for photos and a handy flash burst mode (which take multiple pictures in quick succession).
